Report on visit to Jaipur Dairy
A visit to Jaipur dairy Plant was organized for M Sc Home science (Foods and Nutrition) Sem I as a part of their syllabi. A total of 12 students visited the plant on 26th October 2018 escorted by a faculty member.
Jaipur dairy is aiming to market all kinds of world class dairy products to ever increasing potential customers of Rajasthan primarily, through its chain of outlets. Currently, it markets milk in poly-pack – toned, double toned, standardized and full cream milk in bulk, tetra pack milk, Ghee, paneer, Dahi, Chhach, Lassi and flavored milk in suitable consumer packs under brand name Saras. They have also launched a new type of milk with purple colour packaging under the name of lite milk which contains only 0.5 % of fat.
The students have visited, the pasteurization unit of milk, packaging unit of milk, butter section, ghee section, paneer section, flavoured milk section and tetra pack. The students have also visited all the sections where processing and packaging of various milk products was done. Ice cream is not manufactured here; it is manufactured by Pink city Ice cream but sold under the label of Saras. The aseptic packaging plant ie. tetra pack section was also visited. We have also visited the HACCP unit where the preparation of flavoured milk and paneer takes place. The processing of paneer ad packaging of chhahh was also observed.
As soon as the milk is collected it is tested for fat content and on that basis the payment for milk is being made to the vendors.
Overall, it was a very fruitful and knowledgeable visit.
